I want to get the IP address through the LUA code. I have an example code that works but I get the IP of the LAN interface.
local hote, _ = socket.dns.toip(socket.dns.gethostname())
How can I get the IP from another Wi-Fi interface? is it possible to choose the interface?
I do not know if the socket library allows this.
An alternative is to read the report from ifconfig with io.popen("ifconfig"):read"*a" .
If you know the interface name, then you can use this name in the ifconfig call.
Unfortunately, the report format for ifconfig seems to depend on the platform: they are different on Linux and Mac OS X.
IFCONFIG NO LINUX
If you want to know how to use IP from ifconfig just do this in the notepad:
print (io.popen ("LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig eth0"):lines ()())
print (io.popen ("LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig wlan0"):lines ()())
After saving with the name "MOSTRA_MEU_IP.txt", type this:
┌─[root@parrot] #lua MOSTRA_MEU_IP.txt
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:64:e0:d4:d4
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet Endereço de HW 78:44:76:9a:a0:47
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
DIR or LS
print (io.popen ("LANG=C /bin/ls"):lines ()())
